Description
- This invention relates to a mobile stope support apparatus.
- A stope support apparatus of the invention is intended for use underground in mine stopes which may have a considerable dip and which invariably, in gold mines at least, have a rough and uneven footwall which has to be traversed by the apparatus as stoping proceeds and the face moves back. Stope support apparatuses which have already been proposed make use of rectangular skids which rest upon the footwall and which are obliged to drag over the footwall surface when the appratus advances. In cases where the footwall surface is particularly uneven, the known skids are unable to move over that surface with the result that the apparatus is immobilised.
- A typical example of a stope support apparatus which suffers from this disadvantage is described in the specification of GB-A-1 404 594. This apparatus makes use of long skids which would be incapable of negotiating a rough and uneven footwall. Other typical examples of the use of a skid-base type apparatus are described in DE-A-2848406, GB-A-1,389,111, GB-A-2 115 048A, GB-A-2 123 885A, GB-A-2 129 476A, GB-A-2 096 680A, GB-A-2 086 462A and GB-A-2 077 339A. A stope support apparatus which makes use of a number of base-plate skids is described in the specification of GB-A-1,594,032 but even this apparatus is considered unsuitable for efficient movement in a mine stope having a rough and uneven footwall.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide an alternative mobile mine stope support apparatus.
- DE-A-2950272 describes a mobile stope support apparatus comprising:-
- a) a plurality of mobile units connected to one another;
- b) an overhead canopy for each unit;
- c) for each unit, a pair of upright, double-acting front legs and a pair of upright, double-acting rear legs which support the canopy and which are operable to raise and lower the canopy relative to a hanging wall of the stope;
- d) a first fore-and-aft, double-acting cylinder mounted pivotally on each unit;
- e) a rail to which the double-acting cylinders of the units are connected.
- GB-A-2 041 056 describes a self-advancing mine roof support in which the forward end of an advancing ram can be lifted clear of the mine floor to clear an obstruction.
- The present invention is characterized in that apparatus further comprises:-
- f) for each front and rear leg, an independent base which contacts the footwall of the stope and first resilient spring means which extend between and interconnect the legs of the front pair, second resilient spring means which extend between and interconnect the legs of the rear pair, third spring means which extend between and interconnect one leg of the front pair with one leg of the rear pair, and fourth spring means which extend between and interconnect the other leg of the front pair with the other leg of the rear pair, the first, second, third and fourth spring means and the independent bases permitting the legs to assume different orientations from one another to take account of local irregularities in the footwall of the stope;
- g) second double-acting cylinders which are connected between each unit and the rail, and third double-acting cylinders connected between the units, the second and third cylinders being operable to move the units up dip or down dip relative to the rail; and
- h) means for pivoting the first double-acting cylinder of each unit in an upright plane to lower the rail onto the footwall of the stope when the canopy is lowered away from the hanging wall and cause the front pair of legs to lift off the footwall while the rear pair of legs remain in contact with the footwall, the first double-acting cylinder then being operable to pull or push the unit relative to the rail such that the independent bases of the rear pair of legs slide over the footwall.
- The invention will now be described in more detail, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
- Figure 1
- shows a side view of a single unit of a mobile stope support unit of the invention, some components being omitted in the interest of clarity;
- Figure 2
- shows a front end view of the same unit;
- Figure 3
- shows a rear end view of the same unit;
- Figure 4
- shows a plan view of the unit;
- Figure 5
- shows a side view of the same unit with certain other components included;
- Figure 6
- shows a plan view of the unit as seen in Figure 5;
- Figure 7
- shows an end view of the unit and illustrates its ability to negotiate an uneven footwall; and
- Figure 8
- shows a mobile stope support apparatus of the invention.
- Referring firstly to Figure 8 of the drawings, the mobile stope support apparatus of the invention is made up of a number of separate
mobile units 10 which are connected to one another by means of double-actinghydraulic cylinders 12. The face of a stope in which the apparatus operates is designated with the numeral 14 (Figures 5 and 6), the hanging wall with the numeral 16 (Figure 5) and the footwall with the numeral 18 (Figure 5). - Each
unit 10 has four extendable andretractable legs 20 in the form of double-acting hydraulic cylinders. At their upper ends, thelegs 20 are connected pivotally to acanopy 22. At their lower ends, thelegs 20 haverounded bases 24 of saucer shape, thebases 24A at the rear of the unit being somewhat larger than thebases 24B at the front of the unit. The front legs are connected to one another by means ofspring bars 26 and the rear legs are connected to one another by means ofsimilar spring bars 28.Further spring bars 30 connect the front legs to the rear legs as illustrated. - The
unit 10 has aframe 32 and two parallel springsteel guide bars 33 which can slide relative to the frame. The frame supports a double-actinghydraulic cylinder 34 which is connected to ablock 35. Theblock 35 also connects thebars 33 to one another at the forward end. A double-actinghydraulic cylinder 36 is mounted on thefront spring bars 26 and acts on theblock 35 to cause movement of thecylinder 34 in an upright plane. Theframe 32 is pivoted at the rear end to thespring bars 28 for movement in a horizontal plane about apivot point 39. Theblock 35 is connected pivotally to arobust rail 37 which is common to all theunits 10. - Referring now to Figures 5 and 6, each
unit 10 has ablast barricade 38 which is mounted pivotally to the forward edge of thecanopy 22 at a point 40 and which has ahinge 42. Figure 5 shows the blast barricade in full lines in a horizontal orientation, providing overhead support between theunit 10 and theface 14 of the stope. In broken outline at 44, Figure 5 shows the blast barricade lowered to an upright orientation in which it provides a blast barrier in front of the stope to protect theunit 10 during blasting operations at the face. It will be noted that movement of the barricade to the upright orientation involves some hinging of the barricade about thehinge 42 with the result that the barricade is then made up of a vertical portion 46 and aninclined portion 48. Pivotal movement of the barricade between its overhead and blast orientations is achieved by means of a double-actingcylinder 50 that acts between the canopy and the barricade. - Pivotally connected to the rear edge of the
canopy 22 is ashield 52 carrying a liquidimpervious membrane 54. Pivotal movement of the shield takes place between the horizontal orientation seen in full lines and a vertical orientation seen in broken outline at 56, and is achieved by means of a double-actinghydraulic cylinder 58 that acts between thecanopy 22 and the shield. In the horizontal position, the shield provides overhead support to the rear of theunit 10. In the vertical position, it provides a barrier behind which backfilling operations can take place using slimes or other waste material 60. - In addition to the various components described above, there is, for each
unit 10, a double-actinghydraulic cylinder 62 which connects therail 37 to the next adjacent unit 10 (see Figure 6, in which the next unit is designated with thenumeral 10A). - The apparatus can be caused to advance relative to the
stope face 14 by means of the following steps in sequence : - 1) After a blasting operation and subsequent clearing of the broken rock by conventional means such as scraper scoops, and assuming that the
canopy 22 andblast barricade 38 are in the horizontal position against the hangingwall 16, thecylinder 36 is retracted to pivot thecylinder 34 upwardly. This raises therail 37 above the footwall. This step is carried out by all units simultaneously. - 2) The
cylinder 34 is extended to advance therail 37 towards the stope face. Because therail 37 has already been raised (step 1) local irregularities on the footwall do not interfere with movement of the rail towards the stope face. This situation is depicted in in Figure 5. - 3) The
cylinder 36 is now extended to pivot thecylinder 34 downwardly such that therail 37 is again in contact with the footwall. This step is carried out by all units simultaneously. - 4) All
legs 20 of theunit 10 are now retracted to lower thecanopy 22 and associatedblast barricade 38 andshield 52 away from the hangingwall 16. - 5) The
cylinder 36 is extended further with the result that theforward legs 20 lift right off the footwall, leaving only the tworear legs 20 in contact with the footwall. - 6) The
cylinder 34 is retracted to pull therelevant unit 10 towards therail 37. During this operation, theother units 10 remain stationary. Movement of theunit 10 takes place by sliding of thebases 24A over the footwall. The large saucer-shapes of the bases enable them to negotiate local irregularities in the footwall surface. If there should be a marked dip in the stope, i.e. a slope in a direction transverse to the fore-and-aft direction, the interconnectingcylinders 12 can be used to prevent down-dip slippage of theunit 10 during this movement. - 7) Once the
relevant unit 10 has been advanced by thecylinder 34, thecylinder 36 is again retracted to permit the front legs of the unit to resume contact with the footwall. - 8) The
legs 20 are then extended to bring thecanopy 22 and associatedblast barricade 38 andshield 52 back into contact with the hanging wall. - 9) Steps 4 to 8 are then carried out for each
unit 10, the final situation being that the whole apparatus has been advanced, by the stroke of thecylinder 34, towards thestope face 14. - It is also possible to move the entire apparatus in the direction of dip, i.e. down-dip or up-dip. This is achieved by appropriate extension or retraction of all
cylinders 62 simultaneously to move therail 37 up or down the dip, and then by appropriate operation of the interconnectingcylinders 12 andcylinder 34 during further advance sequences. - An important feature of the described apparatus is the resilient interconnection of the legs of the
units 10 by means of the spring bars 26, 28 and 30. Figure 7 gives an exemplary illustration of the ability of eachunit 10 to stand stably on itslegs 20 irrespective of fairly marked local irregularities in thefootwall 18. - Another important feature of the described apparatus is the facility to raise two legs of each unit off the footwall during advance movements, making it easier for the
units 10 to advance without snagging on footwall irregularities. - In addition to the features discussed above, the apparatus of the invention may include drilling and other ancillary equipment mounted movably on the
rail 37.
